Bailroad Facilities Velasco' Oaly Heed. From the VeUsco WorM of April 8. i Simultaneously with the passage of he bill by congress making Velasco a tub-port of entry, the steamship Austerlitz of Glascow arrived as the pioneer steamer to carry a cargo or c-otton and oil cake to Liverpool from fthia. the new and only deep-water i I port of the Texas coast. The ice has 3 been broken and from now the com-1 vl tnerce of half a continent will con-W tinna to spfik an oritlpt tn the mnrbpfa bers to have the convention held at an early date, and ou motion of Mr.

11. A.Linn, the representative from ttie Fifth, ward, the following dates were named: May 21st For holding the primaries tor electing delegates to the couiry convention. May 2Mb For holding the precinct conventions. June 4th For holding the couuty convention, at which time the county officers will be nominated, delegates to the convention at Houston will be selected and also delegates to the convention at Lam- pasas. The fact that by a recent order of the commissioners court, the voting; districts had been changed, was mentioned, and the question arose as to; how the representation in the ap-i proaching primaries would be reached.

The trouble was iu the fact that in the districts as they now stand no election has ever been held, and it would be utterly impossible to arrive at the correct representation. Finally it was decided to hold the primaries at the same voting boxes as existed at the last election, and then, when the approaching gubernatorial election is held, the vote then cast will be the baeis of representation for the future. This will give representation in the convention to 155 delegates, 94 of hem coming from the city and 61 from the county. The question of he qualification of the voters who desired to participate in the primaries was broactied and proved a topic ou which considerable discussion was had. The qualitlca-tion determined on was one suggested by Chairman Sneed and is as follows The chairmen of the various voting boxes shall have a paper headed as follows which the voters shall sign before participating: "We the undersigned hereby pledge ourselves'ln good faith to act with the Democratic party and we heartily desire Its best welfare and suecess and will support its nominees." of the world through this young com.

Frazier of the steamer Austerlitz would have something to say concerning the mouth of the Brazos and the river to Velasco that would make very interesting reading, a representative of The World called on him on board the steamer this morning and was most hospitably entertained. The reporter asked the genial captain if he was at all surprised to find the present depth of water over the bar and his opinion of the river. The captain said: "Indeed, I may say I her cargo completed.

In answer to the call of Chairman Sneed the County Democratic Executive committee met yesterday in the county court room to attend to necessary business, preparatory to the holding of the primaries and the conventions.

About twelve of the members were present and business was at once proceeded with, the first matter tackled being the question as to whether one or two conventions should be held; one to nominate county officers and send to the 8 ate convention at Houston; the other to select delegates to go to the Lampasas convention. After considerable discussion it was decided to consolidate the two conventions, and at one time to dispose of all the political business of the county.

His remains were at tended to the depot at 10 o'clock last night by a long, solemn procession, composed of the faculty and over one hundred and fifty of the students; a guard of honor of ten students stayed with the catket until after 11 o'clock, when the train bore off the remains.

We came up the river most of the way at full speed, and if a vessel should happen to strike the bank at a bend it i3 impossible to hurt it in any way, for they are all soft mud.

Thus talked a man who has been over all the world and seen nearly every port and whose judgment in matters of this kind is as sound a3 that of any man's.
